The BIG Announcement!

And there it is, our big announcement. October 29th, we are fulfilling our dream of full-time travel and hitting the road for an entire year. We had a little bit of fun with this photo announcement since we’ve never had the opportunity to do anything like this. We never had engagement photos, we eloped and kept our wedding photos to ourselves, and we never had birth announcements. To continue our streak of being unconventional, we thought a “quitting our jobs, leaving a normal life, and living in a teardrop trailer full-time” announcement would be fun!

October 23rd is my last day as a medical social worker. It may actually be my last day ever as a “professional” social worker. I’ve come to realize that there is more to life than advancing my career and I feel a bigger calling with this trip. Clayton ends his job in hospitality on October 28th although he hopes to find something similar along the way. Our first stop is Beaver Creek, Colorado then we will head into Utah for an entire week while slowly making our way to California. We plan on exploring northern California and Nevada for about 12 weeks then we will head to the Pacific Northwest.

We are so incredibly grateful for all of the support we’ve received since launching our blog. Please continue to follow us as we take our blog and Instagram followers with us on our journey!! We are so nervous and excited to explore North America for an entire year!

And to conclude this post, here are some quotes we’ve found online to be very inspirational!

Social media

live life fearlessly

Hey there! I’m Emmy, the voice behind The Valiant Life.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered “can I do more than just work and pay bills?”

I used to dwell on that everyday.

In 2015, we embarked on a life reboot. Sick and tired of working the 9-5 and not spending enough time as a family, we decided to sell everything we owned and live in a teardrop trailer for a year while traveling the United States.

After a year, we were changed for the better, and we continue to travel every month. So how do we do it without an unlimited amount of money?

Once you decide that travel is a priority, you can make it happen. We can show you how!

Let us be your inspiration to go after your dreams, travel the world, and live life valiantly.
